U.S. BUNKERS:Life assurance, not life insurance. If you lack faith in duct tape and plastic sheeting, perhaps this is the solution for you.

Oh.. I can't decide between the desert camouflage or the US flag paint scheme...

Personal bunkers should not be an option on peoples lists, they should be mandatory like in Switzerland...

what do the swiss know?

No, because Dave Barry only talked about it today.

Did Roger Dean and the Monolithic Dome people get in on this design?

Having posted a copy of this from here to elsewhere I got this response:

I must admit to a slight titter, a couple of years back, when the anti-nuclear, civil defence bunker in Hull had to be closed down due to vandalism.

I love that. Protects local government from anything the Sovs could throw at it up to but not including a thirteen year old boy with a magic marker.

The problem with bunkers is that they are static. They don't have legs: they can't just get up and walk away from a too-powerfull threat.

That's why I'm buying up a small surplus submarine and equipping it with wings. You've got to cover all the bases.
